CG125 M1 Headlight Bulb Holder

[skidderwolf]

Hi everyone, I have a CG125 2002 M1 with the rectangular headlight, i have lost the headlight bulb holder and I have looked everywhere for a replacement but cannot find anything which looks like the one I lost. from what I can remember from it it used a spring to secure in place? Anyone know where these are available from?

Thanks

Have you still got the spring?

You can update the gash oem bulb for a standard 472 car bulb with very minor modifications.

[skidderwolf]

No, I don't have anything of the old bulb holder, pretty annoyed with myself,

[skidderwolf]

Ive searched online on how to upgrade using the 472 car bulb but I've had no luck, could you explain?

I've got a lot of experience with CG 125's and I'm stumped . Can you post a picture of the back of the reflector and the bulb please ?

[Mr Fro]

Yeah, will do. Maybe tonight but probably Wednesday.

Yes, Its just the rectangular style headlight with a circular cutout where the bulb fits.

Probably easier to find a complete unit from ebay, or change it for the round one which is available brand new on wemoto, they come supplied with 6v bulbs so you would need to order 12v ones if you went this route or try ebay for a used one

Tending to agree dynax, ill get a shiny n ew one from the internet

Right , that's what I suspected it would look like . I just can't imagine how the bulb holder is secured in that big round hole . Sorry.

hi the bulb holder might have a big rubber boot that goes over the lip on the light casing

[Mr Fro]

Right , that's what I suspected it would look like . I just can't imagine how the bulb holder is secured in that big round hole . Sorry.

 

Have you not seen one before then?

I've built nine CG 125s and to the best of my recollection they all had round headlights . So no , I haven't seen one like that . The ones I do remember would have had two cut outs like this and the bulb holder would be push in and twist to lock .

If you look at the penultimate pic there"s a cut out in the hole at about 11 o'clock. The tab of the holder locates in that.

There's then a spring that goes from about 4 o'clock on the holder to that little sticky outy holey thing in the bottom right of the rear of the reflector.

I'll take some pics tomorrow and you'll see what I'm banging on about.

Whether I know what it looks like or not dosen't actually solve the problem .

I don't understand then. You've not seen one and don't understand how it works.

I have the same light on the same bike and am explaining how it goes together and offering info on an easy upgrade as a solution to the "I've lost all the bits off the back" problem.

[dynax]

It is the same headlight as used on the CB125TD, my CG is also the square one although i am seriously thinking of changing it for a round one, as the light spread and pattern is much better, there are plenty of replacements units on ebay complete with all the fittings and relevent holders

[fastbob]

I can't see where the spring goes but I'm fairly sure it's this one . At that money you may as well buy a a whole replica headlight unit . https://www.wemoto.com/parts/picture/ho-33130-kph-971
